Week 1: Pittsburgh

Week 2: BYE

Week 3: Green Bay

I totally forgot about my pick last week. Luckily there is one BYE.

Yup, that's what it's there for. Everybody deserves one second chance. It's very easy to forget to come back back and make a new pick each week, especially early in the season, when it's not a habit yet.

Last week there were 7 forced Byes. I'm still waiting on 9 more picks for this week, and 5 of those are from people who were saved with their Bye last week. Hopefully they know they're not out yet and post picks for this week. Well, hopefully to me; I'm sure everyone else still in the pool won't be too sad if people get knocked out for not making a pick. :lol:

 
I'm going to be locking the pool a bit earlier than usual this week because the NFL weekend starts earlier than usual with the Ravens vs. Jaguars game kicking off in London in about 20 minutes, so this is a last minute heads up.  If you haven't posted your pick for the week yet, do it now!  I'll be locking the thread in about 10 minutes.

 
Pool is locked for the week.  Here are this week's picks.  Good luck!

It was a brutal weekend.  24 people have been knocked out of the pool (including 5 who got knocked out by not making a pick) so far, with one more pick playing tonight.  That's 43% of the pool.

Also, with the Raiders loss last night, the final 2 people with a shot at winning the bonus contest fell by the wayside, so that prize will go back into the prize pool for some future contest.  Picking the last team to win and the last team to lose turned out to be harder than it sounded.

The Pool is now open for your Week 4 picks

Week 4
 
Chicago at Green Bay (Thursday Night)
New Orleans at Miami
Tennessee at Houston
Jacksonville at NY Jets
Carolina at New England
Detroit at Minnesota
Buffalo at Atlanta 
Pittsburgh at Baltimore
Cincinnati at Cleveland
LA Rams at Dallas
Philadelphia at LA Chargers
NY Giants at Tampa Bay
San Francisco at Arizona
Oakland at Denver
Indianapolis at Seattle
Washington at Kansas City (Monday Night)
 
Guess I should start putting my weekly picks if only for my reference:

Week 1 - Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 2 - Oakland Raiders
Week 3 - Green Bay Packers
Week 4 - BYE

After last week, think Ill take a breather...
 
I think it's stupid for those who took bye weeks in this game.

Week 1: Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 2: Oakland Raiders

Week 3: New England Patriots

Week 4: Seattle Seahawks

 
Week 1: LA Rams

Week 2: Seattle Seahawks

Week 3: BYE

I guess the early-only-10-min-warning-til-lockout=forced-BYE saved me as I was pretty sure on picking the Steelers to beat my Bears.  However, they cant possibly get that lucky again, especially in primetime, in Lambeau, against Aaron (A, A, Ron) Rodgers. So

Week 4: Green Bay Packers

 
Week 1: Pittsburgh

Week 2: BYE

Week 3: Green Bay

Week 4: Arizona

The weather delay in the Green Bay game made me think it would be a good time to remember to post my pick this week.

 
Week 1: Carolina Panthers

Week 2: Oakland Raiders

Week 3: LA Rams

Week 4: Arizona Cardinals

I'd pick something from the battle of Ohio, but the Rams gave me all the excitement I could handle last week.

 
OK, everybody has made their pick, so the pool is locked for Week 4.  Here's what we've got.  Good luck, everyone!
